☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free# Rulah, Jungle Goddess #23 This issue contains two stories. "Jungle Goddess" follows Rulah as she uncovers a plot involving international spies and stolen diamonds hidden in her jungle territory; when she discovers the scheme, she turns the diamonds over to authorities and warns the plotters to leave. "The Lahassa, Where Life is Cheap and Death is Free!" recounts lion tamer Mark Connor's ill-fated attempt to transplant Carnay tactics from circus lions to the fierce lions of Lahassa in Africa, resulting in tragedy when a lion kills hunter Joe Crosby, teaching Connor a harsh lesson about the untamable nature of wild beasts.
When Rulah's loyal companion Saber discovers a dead tribesman and leads the jungle goddess to a high mountain retreat, she uncovers a sinister plot: a dying white man named Booth is manipulating the local tribes through a witch-doctor named Torgo, convincing them that human sacrifices will appease the gods and spare their families. Now Rulah must find a way to stop this deadly mass psychology before she becomes the next sacrifice herself—and the only woman ever chosen for such a "honor."
In the hidden Valley of Glitter, the ruthless Martz pursues a stash of diamonds he once concealed—claiming to Rulah that he's chasing an old legend of a goddess—but the jungle goddess soon discovers his true intentions are far more sinister than a romantic quest. As Martz closes in on his prize, Rulah must navigate treacherous jungle perils and confront the weapon-maker's deception before his greed claims another victim. A tale of crime and betrayal unfolds beneath the canopy, where legends prove deadlier than any beast.
Rulah joins Sir Harry Goddard's anthropological safari into the jungle to search for the legendary Skull of Genghis Khan, only to stumble upon a hidden village built around a skull temple guarded by a fanatical cult. When the group is captured and sentenced to sacrifice, Rulah must uncover the truth behind the cult's supernatural claims before darkness falls and the blood moon ritual begins.
Mark Connor, a circus lion tamer with more confidence than sense, arrives in Africa to catch real lions for the circus—only to find himself outmatched by the jungle and its inhabitants. When he crosses paths with Meg Travers, a seasoned big-game hunter, their clash of egos and wits leads to a dangerous encounter that tests whether Connor is all bluster or has the nerve to back up his boasts.
